The pilot was LTGJ Dave Graham, I can't remember the co-pilots name, the navigator was LTJG Steve Keith, and the TACCO was LTJG Barry Post. Other crew members were: Plane Captain Willie Sherborne, Accoustics Operator Carl Trippett and later Fritz Miller, Julie/ECM Thom McCaughey, MAD/Flight Tech Bob Amburgy, Radio Lou Spicuzza, Ordnance Dave Franz (or Franzen - can't exactly remember which) and I also can't recall the name of the Second Mech. We were together from January, 1969 until the squadron decomissioned in November 1969. Sorry for the names I misspelled or forgot but it's been a long time..."
